1. Item Response Theory (Cohen)

Item Response Theory (IRT), also known as latent-trait theory, is a family of theories and methods that provides a way to model the probability that a person with X ability (e.g., a particular personality trait) is able to perform (e.g., on a personality test) at a level of Y.

IRT is not a single method or theory. Instead, IRT is a family of theories and methods, comprising well over a hundred different models. Each model as its own assumptions and data characteristics to handle data. There are, for instance, IRT models designed specifically for tests with dichotomous test items (yes/no, true/false). Other models are specifically designed to for tests polytomous items (test items with three or more answer categories).

Studying The Science of Consciousness by Harley

The book The Science of Consciousness explains everything we currently know and believe about consciousness. The book is written by Trevor A. Harley, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Dundee. The book is appropriate for psychology and philosophy courses in consciousness and cognitive psychology, so it is written for a broad audience. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, from social sciences to biological sciences to computer science to philosophy. The book has a theoretical framework and strong foundations in neuroscience, but also incorporates religious standpoints and philosophical ideas. Little prior knowledge is assumed.

The chapters are grouped into three parts. The first part is about the nature of consciousness. It tries to explain what consciousness is. This part consists of chapters 1-5. The second part is about the workings of consciousness. It tries to explain how consciousness arises from the brain, and how it is related to cognitive and perceptual processing. This part consists of chapters 6-10. The last part is about the states of consciousness other than normal waking consciousness. It tries to show what we can learn from altered states of consciousness. This part consists of chapters 11-17. Chapter 18 summarizes what we know about the complex topic of consciousness.
